Carla Cafe

The Century City Carla sits inside Watt Plaza on Century Park East, which makes it an office-tower cafe and shapes everything about how it runs. The board is the same one the Third Street room pours. The Carla Cream Matcha and the Banana Cream Matcha are the signatures, and the house iced matcha latte is the straightforward order. There is an iced matcha americano for anybody skipping milk, plus a matcha lemonade that suits a walk between buildings better than a latte does. Being in a plaza means the rhythm is the working day: busy at nine, busy again after lunch, calm in between. We rate it as the fix for anybody working in Century City, closing the gap between the towers and a matcha worth crossing the street for.
